Salmonella enterica

Salmonella enterica is a bacterium that can be detected in stool. It is not considered a normal part of the dog’s gut microbiome. Dogs may be exposed through contaminated food, raw meat, faeces, water, soil, or environments where Salmonella has been present. Some dogs can carry Salmonella without obvious signs, while others may develop digestive or general symptoms. When Salmonella enterica affects the gut, it may be associated with diarrhoea, vomiting, fever, reduced appetite, low energy, lethargy, abdominal discomfort, or poor general condition. Because Salmonella can have zoonotic relevance, meaning it may spread between animals, humans, and the environment, the finding is best understood together with digestive signs, possible exposure, hygiene factors, and the wider gut profile.
